SCAPP: an algorithm for improved plasmid assembly in metagenomes
Abstract Background Metagenomic sequencing has led to the identification and assembly of many new bacterial genome sequences. These bacteria often contain plasmids: usually small, circular double-stranded DNA molecules that may transfer across bacterial species and confer antibiotic resistance. Thes...
